2018 - local elections: councils, mayors, city presidents, local parliaments, counties 2019 spring- European Parliament elections 2019 autumn - national parliamentary elections 2020 - presidential elections Will intelligent, reasonable, responsible, patriotic people manage to wrest Poland from the grip of PiS neobolshevik destructors? Will we suffice to save our beloved country from again falling into the Russian sphere of influence where PiS manic rule is leading us? That is the question. The full quote by a classic writer might be handy here:  Yes, that`s it, we must stand up and fight! Our Polish motto must be again: better die in battle than live whole life in slavery. We must win the elections! Every doorstep will be our fortress - A prophetic poster from Polish Bolshevik war  Every Pole - bayonette on!  |

2018 - local elections Cities are traditionally bastions of anti-PiS opposition. Many residents are well educated and well-off, so they don`t fall so easily for PIS promises. Warsaw is the main battleground, as always in Polish history. All invaders and occupants targeted Warsaw as the primary source of resistance which had to be crushed first.  Two major candidates for Warsaw mayor, (in Poland called city president in largest cities) PiS and opposition     PiS candidate hides his party membership on billboards, hoping some confused voters might vote him. It seems being a PiS member is a disgrace and it is safer to avoid revealing certain suspicious facts in Warsaw ..... So funny...  Campaign is everywhere: streets, TV, Net, rallies, private homes. Candidates promise great things: new underground lines, new high technology districts etc etc.....                           The media and Net users have a laugh when candidates do really silly things. E.g., PiS candidate wears a local soccer team scarf (although he isn`t Warsawian)  while the opposition candidate repairs the broken door with a Scotch tape.  Or he goes by underground train!!!    |

Actually, there are 14 candidates for Warsaw President. In Krakow 6. Quality before quantity, as usual.  The media and Net users have a laugh when candidates do really silly things. The latest one. PiS candidate uploaded a photo of himself in his "study." Net users found out it was probably a film set for a TV series and some books are German, from 1980s and about train engines.  |

Exit poll results show that PiS is going to lose the local elections. Major cities already remained or will remain in democratic opposition`s or independent politicians` hands after runoffs. E.g., in Warsaw the opposition candidate smashed PiS with over 50% and there will be no runoff. PiS managed to gather 32% in local parliaments (which are politically more important than city councils and mayors). It is more than anybody else arithmetically, however, the result is still too low to gain full control because the coalition of opposition parties will prevail anyway. Kaczyński made a speech and even announced victory but he was visibly morose and blamed fake news for PiS result. How wonderful!  |

First general comments, while final ones after runoffs. Exit poll results show that PiS is going to lose the local elections. Major cities already remained or will remain in democratic opposition`s or independent politicians` hands after runoffs. E.g., in Warsaw the opposition candidate smashed PiS with over 50% and there will be no runoff. PiS managed to gather 32% in local parliaments (which are politically more important than city councils and mayors). It is more than anybody else arithmetically, however, the result is still too low to gain full control because the coalition of opposition parties will prevail anyway. Kaczyński made a speech and even announced victory but he was visibly morose and blamed fake news for PiS result. How wonderful! If we take into account how much PiS invested into their brutal campaign, I mean all their blatant lies, manipulation and primitive attacks, especially by PiS controlled state TV and radio, plus Prime Minister`s active engagement, clandestine or sometimes open support from the RC Church and other resources like abundant social benefits, then we can say that they lost, getting fewer votes than in previous national elections in 2015. This year they managed to collect 34%. An optimist might say "only" 34. If we look at pure numbers, then there is a draw. 90% of biggest and medium cities are controlled by pro European opposition or independent mayors/councils. PiS won in the countryside, though, as usual. Hypothetical situation in important regional parliaments - PiS already fully controls 6 out of 16, but might take over 9 if they win over other non-PiS members to join their coalition.  The general turnout was the record one, 55% compared to average 47% in previous elections and queues, sth unusual, could be seen. In big cities even higher, more than 60%. About 2 million voters who hadn`t used to attend elections before came to vote in 2018. Experts claim they decided to participate after seeing PiS anti-European stance. So, as it was predicted, the elections turned out to be a sort of pro-PiS or antiPiS plebiscite. Queues at polling stations    Turnout  A few cities, including Krakow, are going to hold runoffs next week, but PiS candidates are not expected to win there. In Warsaw the opposition candidate won decisively 56 to 28. Typical types of voters Pro European pro democratic opposition - big city resident, female, 40-49 years old, university education Anti European, antidemocratic PiS - countryside dweller, 60+ yo, male, elementary and high school education.    |

The reality of election campaigns in Poland is that undecisive voters can remarkably influence the results even at the very end. PiS got a few percent votes less due to certain stupid moves in the last days before ballot. E.g., PiS Justice minister openly challenged the rule of European law in Poland. That scared many voters who realised that PiS is really thinking of pushing Poland out of the EU structures and made them go voting. Thank you, Mr Minister, for this proverbial shot in PiS` knee. navva.org/poland/nation/a-milestone-for-polexit-zbigniew-ziobro-wants-the-eu-treaty-to-be-unconstitutional-politics/A milestone for Polexit. Zbigniew Ziobro wants the EU treaty to be unconstitutional – PoliticsAnother case of last minute changes in voting preferences is Warsaw. At the beginning and later on the chances for both major candidates were almost the same - the opposition one got only a few percent more in polls. Both had several accidental slip-ups but the outcome was unpredictable and anything could happen. However, it changed in the last few days, when PiS candidate scored 3 serious blunders. - he tried to hide his political affiliation on posters and banners. Later he even gave up his party membership, suggesting he was an independent candidate. Come on, nobody likes to be taken for a ride. - he blackmailed Warsavians by suggesting that if non-PiS mayor was elected, the city wouldn`t get any funds from the central government for its projects. Come on, who likes being blackmailed? - he compared the elections to Warsaw Rising in 1944. He probably meant that either Warsawians would fight for freedom (choosing PiS) or remain under occupation (choosing opposition). That was the last straw that broke Warsavians` belief that PiS understands the city and its residents. Come on, no true Warsawian dares to exploit the powerful symbolicism of Warsaw Rising in such a trivial way. In result, Warsawians proved they have still retained the indomitable spirit of the Rising but its effect was disastrous for PiS - 56 to 28%. This time Warsaw spirit prevailed - the city won the battle against the dark forces.  Warsaw is the main battleground, as always in Polish history. All invaders and occupants targeted Warsaw as the primary source of resistance which had to be crushed first. Thank you, Warsaw. Again, like so many times in Polish history, you have proved you have the right to be the capital of free Poland. Let your victory lead us to more next years. Warsaw, I salute you on behalf of all patriotic, open-minded, pro European, pro democratic, pro normality Poles who love this country and wish it the best. Traditionally, with two fingers.  |

Quite an impartial article about the situation after the first stage of the marathon: polandinenglish.info/39724933/analysis-winds-of-change-for-polish-politicsThe local government election results have confirmed the dominance of the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) and the liberal Civic Coalition and have left other parties considering their options for next year’s European and Polish Parliamentary elections.
The local government elections showed that both the conservative PiS and the liberal KO are capable of mobilising their supporters against each other. PiS are still ahead in the country at large, but the KO has shown its strength in the cities.
PiS: harder or softer?
Following the 34 percent result in the local government contest, an ongoing debate about the future direction within the ruling PiS is well under way. PM Morawiecki and deputy PM Gowin are advocates of tacking to the centre by ending the rule of law dispute with the EC, putting on ice any attempts to deconcentrate ownership of the media away from foreign hands and making controversial moves on tightening the abortion law.
But there are those who argue that without deconcentration of media ownership, mobilization of the catholic vote and persevering with judicial reform PiS will lose credibility with many of its core voters without necessarily attracting new support. The Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, the former PM Beata Szydło and the former Defence minister Antoni Macierewicz, together with Catholic conservatives gathering around Father Tadeusz Rydzyk’s media empire (Radio Maryja, TV Trwam and the paper “Nasz Dziennik) seem to be the most vocal advocates of this line.
Jarosław Kaczyński, the PiS leader is backing PM Morawiecki. His word is law within the PiS camp. However, the judicial reform is close to his heart and he will find it especially hard to swallow any radical softening of the ruling party’s position on that issue. As always he will strive for a degree of balance between the two wings of the party.
The ruling party is particularly anxious about the European elections. This is because turnout in that election tends to be considerably higher in big cities than in rural and small town areas. Additionally, as a result of the conflict between the current government and the EC over the rule of law, the opposition KO has been able to raise the spectre of ‘Polexit’. Poles support EU membership and have no taste for considering leaving.
In order to offset these fears PiS has to accentuate its commitment to playing an active role in the EU. However, that message sometimes jars with its skepticism of further European integration and desire to see more power going to the member nation states. The party is therefore likely to underline how it has defended Polish interests in the EU over issues such as stopping the compulsory relocation of refugees and the maintenance of Poland’s currency, the złoty. On both these issues the party is in line with popular sentiment.
If the hurdle of the European elections can be overcome, PiS will be optimistic about the Polish Parliamentary contest. The economy is likely to still be buoyant, social spending high and election promises from 2015 mostly delivered. There may additionally be boons such as visa-free travel to the USA and a decision to establish a permanent US military base in Poland.
As long as the party can keep its nose clean of any big scandals and avoid any divisions between the different wings of the ruling camp its prospects in that elections look to be very good.
KO: how to broaden the coalition to overtake PiS?
The KO who managed 27 percent in the local polls are weak in rural and small town areas. This is why they want to broaden the coalition to include the Polish People’s Party (PSL) and the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD). But they cannot be certain that such an electoral alliance would mean that the voters of these parties would necessarily follow. This is particularly doubtful in the case of the PSL whose voters in past elections have often turned towards PiS rather than the liberals.
Working out a convincing policy platform would certainly be a problem. The Civic Platform (PO) is cautious over issues such as abortion or gay rights and the PSL outright conservative on these matters. The SLD and the Modern Party (N) would like to see the church confronted on these issues. On the economy, the instincts of both the Civic Platform and the Modern Party are liberal, whereas the PSL and SLD would like to keep most of the programmes and policies pursued by the present government. Only on foreign policy and judicial reform would the parties find it easy to agree.
The KO’s leader is de facto Grzegorz Schetyna, the leader of the bloc’s main party, the Civic Platform . But he does not enjoy the authority and reverence afforded to the PiS leader. Many in the KO look towards the prince over the border in Brussels, the former PM and current President of the European Council, Donald Tusk.
It is more than likely that Mr Tusk will become increasingly involved in Polish party politics again. He is already seriously thinking of contesting the Presidential election. It is more than likely he will find a way to participate in some way in the European and Parliamentary elections too. Not as a candidate per se, but as a figure rallying support for the KO.
This is highly convenient for the KO, even if not for Mr Schetyna who has had his differences with Mr Tusk in the past. The liberal KO is hoping to scare urban voters into its fold by raising the fear of ‘Polexit’ on the basis of the controversy over the rule of law issue between the current PiS government and the EC.
PSL: three options
The PSL, who polled 12 percent in the local elections, are considering three options. The first is to stand on their own and take on PiS in rural areas. This is risky, as in the conditions of even greater polarisation of Parliamentary elections and the low turnout of a European one, the party will be in danger of failing to cross the electoral threshold.
The second option the party is considering is to ally itself with the SLD. The rationale for this is that the two parties have different strengths and do not compete with each other. THe PSL has strength in rural areas, the SLD more in urban areas. However, that SLD strength in rural areas is nothing compared to the strength of the KO.
The third option is to ally with their EPP partners in the KO. The problem here is that such a partnership would be unbalanced and the PSL might find it hard to make itself heard in such a broad alliance. It could dissolve in a much stronger brand.
SLD: what future for the left?
The results for the SLD were very poor. It got less than 6 percent of the vote and won just 11 provincial council seats in the local elections. The only consolation was that the results for the other two leftist lists: the “Together” party and the Greens, were even worse with them polling just over 1 percent each.
“Together” have called for talks between these parties plus the fledgling movement being built by Robert Biedroń, the gay activist and former mayor of Słupsk. It is conceivable these gropings might ally for the European elections under Biedroń’s leadership. If the result achieved is promising they might stand together again in the Parliamentary elections. If not, they could then negotiate to find a berth in the KO.
The SLD of course have two other options. They could cut out the middle step and join KO straight away. Or they could try to build a social red-green coalition with the SLD.
Robert Biedroń and “Together” would not countenance joining the KO at the present time. Nor would they wish to ally with the PSL at this stage either.
Kukiz’15: fragmentation of the non-PiS right
Media attention has been drawn to Mr Kukiz’s outbursts against some of his parliamentary colleagues. As a former rock star, his language is often colourful and rather unparliamentary. However, the problems of his grouping are not limited to the temperament of its leader.
Kukiz’15 was a movement based on the name of its founder. He promised that he would not create a political party and has kept his word. The trouble is that this is costly. It means he cannot benefit from state funding for parties.
Some of Mr Kukiz’s parliamentary colleagues, led by the wealthy brewery owner Marek Jakubiak, are not trying to persuade Mr Kukiz to agree to form a political party. This they feel is the way to lure back to the fold many of those who left over the past three years to work with the libertarian conservative Janusz Korwin-Mikke, the National Movement (RN) or Kornel Morawiecki’s “Free in Solidarity” party. None of those entities have made any headway and yet are capable of taking votes away from Kukiz’15.
The movement is clearly at a crossroads. This was always likely for a political grouping stitched together at great speed from a mix of trades unionists, economic libertarians, nationalists, and lately also conservative Catholics led by the former PiS parliamentary speaker Marek Jurek. These elements may have too little in common to be able to stick together.
It is highly likely that, should the grouping fall apart, its voters will go their separate ways too. Some will turn to the veteran Korwin-Mikke, others will turn to PiS in an attempt to keep KO out of power. The likelihood of the grouping being able to survive and prosper without the Kukiz name are minute.
Much may change for things to stay the same
Whatever happens to the left, Kukiz’15 and the PSL, PiS and KO will continue to dominate Polish politics. One or the other will form the nucleus of the next government and it is close to certain that a candidate of one or the other will win the presidential elections in 2020.
Electoral turnout is likely to continue to be high. The polarisation between PiS and KO should see to that. The supporters of both dislike the other side enough to be motivated to vote. |

If we take into account how much PiS invested into their brutal campaign, I mean all their blatant lies, manipulation and primitive attacks, especially by PiS controlled state TV and radio, One example: state TV released a clip warning Poles against exotic immigrants and voting opposition parties which allegedly support immigration. That was pure manipulation because local authorities have nothing to do with immigrants - it is central government`s business. www.tvn24.pl/tvn24-news-in-english,157,m/pis-released-a-spot-depicting-poland-overrun-by-muslim-immigrants,879839.html |

Runoffs in a few major cities and hundreds of smaller towns and counties on Sunday. Will PiS manage to mobilise their voters and win some important places after the initial failure? Will the opposition remain consolidated and keep up good work from the first vote? That is the question. I hope these beautiful historical cities, capitals of their regions, won`t fall under PiS rule: Krakow  Gdańsk  Przemyśl  Kielce  Szczecin  Olsztyn  |

There is election silence in Poland now, campaign must be stopped, so just a few ancient patriotic posters: To arms!  Defend your family!  To arms! Motherland is calling you!  Join the army - defend the motherland.  |

EU's Tusk likens Polish govt to contemporary 'Bolsheviks'
Updated 8:49 am PST, Saturday, November 10, 2018
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — European Council head Donald Tusk, a former Polish prime minister, on Saturday denounced the euroskeptic populists governing Poland as "contemporary Bolsheviks" who threaten the nation's independence, but can be defeated.
Tusk, seen as a likely contender in Poland's 2020 presidential election, spoke in the city of Lodz on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the country regaining its statehood at the end of World War I after 123 years of foreign rule.
He honored the statesman who restored Polish independence and then as chief of state went on to defeat the Bolsheviks' Red Army in 1920, Marshal Jozef Pilsudski. He also paid homage to Lech Walesa, the Solidarity trade union founder who challenged Poland's Soviet-backed communist rule during the 1980s and went on to become president from 1990 to 1995.
"Jozef Pilsudski was facing a more difficult situation than we have today when he was conquering the Bolsheviks and in fact, defending the Western community against political barbarians," Tusk said during an independent anniversary forum.
"Walesa had a more difficult situation when he was conquering the Bolsheviks in a symbolic way, when he was bringing out the European, the freedom, the national values in us. But he managed," he continued.
"Why shouldn't you be able to defeat the contemporary Bolsheviks?" Tusk said to great applause.
He appealed for Poles to defend their rights, freedom and to "defend Poland's independence."
He criticized the government led by the conservative Law and Justice party, which has repeatedly clashed with European Union leaders, as a threat to Poland.
"Whoever today in Poland takes steps against our strong position in a united Europe is really taking steps against Poland's independence," Tusk said.
Tusk's appointment to the EU job in 2014 partly was in recognition of his liberal government's pro-EU policies. He warned Saturday that the government now influenced by Law and Justice head Jaroslaw Kaczynski, Tusk's political foe, is moving in the opposite direction.
In hopes of preventing anything from marring the centennial commemorations, Polish government officials negotiated a deal to hold a joint march in Warsaw on Sunday with nationalist groups that had planned their own event.
Past independence day marches held by far-right nationalists featured racist slogans, white supremacist symbols and aggressive behavior.

PiS corrupts opposition politicians to gain power in regional parliaments polandin.com/40062602/ruling-party-gains-control-of-silesia-province
Head of the Prime Minister's office Michał Dworczyk (r), deputy energy minister Grzegorz Tobiszowski (l) and councilor Wojciech Kałuża (c), the latter of whom agreed to a provincial coalition with the ruling party despite being a mamber of the opposition Modern party. Photo: PAP/Andrzej Grygiel
Law and Justice (PiS) have gained control of the Silesia (Śląsk) province as a result of a defection by one of the Civic Coalition’s (KO) council members. The ruling party is now in control of eight provinces.
Up until yesterday it looked as if a broad coalition of the KO, the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) and the Polish People’s Party (PSL) who together had 23 members against 22 for PiS, would rule the province. However, now that a KO council member from the Modern party has defected, it is PiS which holds the majority in the province.
PiS will be delighted with this development. The Silesia province is the second largest in the country, a key urban and industrial centre of Poland.
Provincial authorities control the allocation of considerable EU funding in their regions. As a result of the local government elections, the ruling party now holds power in eight of these powerful regional authorities.
The opposition KO will be mortified by this development. They were very relieved earlier in the week when together with the PSL they managed to hold on to the biggest province, Mazowsze. The defeat in Silesia will lead to the Civic Platform (PO), the major party in the KO coalition, to ask questions about the way the Modern party selects its candidates.
Now that both the opposition and the ruling party control several provincial authorities, a local government lobby may become more significant inside the ruling party. The government may now be more interested in channeling funds through the provincial authorities. |

Next remarks on the local elections.
The situation is a draw as I already mentioned. PiS increased its influence in local parliaments from one province in 2014 to 8 in 2018. They gained majority in 6 provinces but managed to “persuade” other party men or city movements members to join them. 8 out of 16 after merely 1 is a great progress but it is still a disappointing result to PiS leaders in view of all the benefits and social reforms they had been introducing for 3 years. PiS had counted on decisive victory of 50% plus but they got 33%, a few percent less than in 2015 national elections.
Even worse than that is the situation in towns and cities where PiS lost almost completely – urban dwellers refused to support the right wing conservatives for various reasons, the main one is the tension between PiS and the EU which provokes fears of Polexit.
The general outcome means PiS`s failure to attract centre voters who, hoping for a new style of rule, had supported the party in 2015. However, later EU brawls, judiciary “reforms”, constitution breaches and corruption scandals put these voters off – they realised that despite noble promises, PiS is doing a lot of harm to Poland and isn`t a better quality in Polish politics.

When PiS leaders learnt about local elections results and realised that the support won`t grow but can only go down with time, they panicked and decided to change the style and rhetoric and repeat the same trick they successfully used in 2015 – the policy of love. So, the most controvercial PiS members who actively lashed at the opposition in the Parliament or online have been told to shut up and disappear from the media. Pro-PiS media spread rumours they have withdrawn from politics for good. The PiS Prime Minister started to call for cooperation and mutual understanding. Will it be enough to attract back the centre voters? I doubt it. Too much evil has been done by PiS to forget it so easily.
PiS is especially worried about the coming elections to the Europarliament which are traditionally attended mostly by urban dwellers. Country voters aren`t interested in Euro elections for some reason. So, it is quite possible that antiPis voters from cities will make the majority of votes, thus depriving PiS of many Europarliament positions. That wouldn`t be so bad after all, because PiS candidates are mostly people who brought shame on themselves in internal politics with their stupid decisions and now want to find a safe haven, like the Education Minister who introduced a highly controvercial junior high school system reform . BTW, that only shows what hypocrites PiS politicians are – they spit at the EU in public but all desire well-paid positions in its structures.
In 2015 national elections PiS got 38% but due to D Hondt method they managed to gain over 50% seats in the Parliament and create their own government. The situation might repeat if the opposition doesn`t unite. The talks about a broad coalition are taking place.
The coming months are going to be a really interesting time.

The latest update: the main pro European, anti PiS parties formed a coalition while the gay activist Robert Biedroń started his own party called Spring. The latest poll before the Euro Parliament elections. www.tvn24.pl/tvn24-news-in-english,157,m/europarliament-s-poll-of-support-for-parties-ahead-of-european-election,914220.html
Poll: European Coalition - 37,5 percent; Law and Justice - 36,3; Wiosna - 10,6
According to the poll by the European Parliament, after May's election in Poland, the European Coalition would win 21 seats in Brussels, whereas PiS - 20 37,5 percent would vote for the European Coalition, 36,3 percent on Law and Justice (PiS) and 10,6 percent on Robert Biedroń’s Wiosna party, according to the latest political parties support poll published on Friday by the European Parliament ahead of May’s European elections. Progressive politician Robert Biedroń tests appetite for less religious Poland Robert Biedroń,... czytaj dalej » The results of surveys carried out in EU member-states have been collected in the end of February. The poll shows that Kukiz’15 movement would also pass the electoral threshold with 7,3 percent of votes. Janusz Korwin-Mikke’s Liberty Coalition would secure 5,1 percent of votes. The left-wing Razem party would get 1,6 percent of votes, whereas others - 1,7 percent. Should the above-mentioned scenario happened to be true, the European Coalition would have the most MEPs in Brussels. Politicians from Civic Platform, Polish People’s Party, Modern Party, Democratic Left Alliance and the Greens would win 21 seats in the European Parliament. The United Right coalition consisting of PiS (Law and Justice), United Poland and Alliance would take 20 seats. Politicians from all three parties are running on PiS list. Robert Biedroń’s Wiosna party (Spring) would win 5 seats, Kukiz’15 movement would secure 4 seats and KORWiN coalition - 2. According to Europarliament’s estimation, the European People’s Party - currently having the most seats in Brussels (Civic Platform and Polish People’s Party are its members) would take 181 after the vote in May, compared to 217 seats at the moment. According to the last week’s poll, the EPP would secure 183 seats. The Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, S&D would get the second result with 135 seats. Poland’s Democratic Left Alliance is a member of the group, which currently has 186 MEPs. The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE), which may be joined by MEPs from Poland’s Modern Party, would come third. The group led by Guy Verhofstadt would secure 75 seats, according to the poll. Currently it has 68 MEPs.

Evacuation action is the campaign organised by the opposition to prevent top PiS politicians from finding a safe haven in the Euro Parliament. Mobile billboards are going to remind voters about the greatest pests from PiS who are trying to avoid responsibility for their flunked job in Poland: E.g, Watch out! She is fleeing to Brussels! Anna Zalewska (Education Minister). Let her tell us what she has done to children. Stop PiS! Elections on 26th May.  Let her tell us how she defended bandits!  Let her tell us about millions for PiS guys     |

Will it be like in the Netherlands where the right insults the left and the left threatens the right?

Will it be like in the Netherlands where the right insults the left and the left threatens the right? This has already been happening in Poland, PiS and Kaczyński began their dirty offensive long ago, now others are following. But why do you mention only left and right who abuse each other?? There is also centre, including me, and I definitely love insulting all rightists and nationalists! |
